Answer:

66.67% probability that all selected components function properly

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the components are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question:

Desired outcomes:

2 components which function properly, from a set of 5. So

D = C_{5,2} = \frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!} = 10

Total outcomes:

2 components, from a set of 6. So

T = C_{6,2} = \frac{6!}{2!(6-2)!} = 15

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{10}{15} = 0.6667

66.67% probability that all selected components function properly

Solve 6 - x - x = 18​
iragen [17]

\text{Hey there!}

\mathsf{Solve: 6 -x- x=18}

\mathsf{Combine\ your\ like\ terms}\\\mathsf{6 -\bf{x - x}\mathsf{= 18}}\\\mathsf{-x-x=-2x}\\\mathsf{Your\ new\ equation: -2x+6=18}\\\\\mathsf{Do\ the\ OPPOSITE\ symbol\ on\ both\ sides\ of\ the\ equation}\\\mathsf{Addition\ opposite\ symbol\ is\ subtraction}\\\mathsf{Subtract\ by\ 6\ on\ your\ sides}\\\mathsf{-2x+6-6=18-6}\\\mathsf{Cancel\ out{6-6\ because\ it\ gives\ us\ 0}}\\\mathsf{Keep:18-6\ because\ it\ helps\ us\solve\ for\ the\ answer}\\\\\mathsf{Next,\ divide\ both\ sides\ by\ -2}

\mathsf{\dfrac{-2x}{-2}=\dfrac{12}{-2}}\\\\\mathsf{Cancel\ out: \dfrac{-2x}{-2}\  because\ it\ gives\ you\ the\ result\ of 1}\\\\\mathsf{Keep:\dfrac{12}{-2}\ because\ it\ gives\ the\ answer\ of\ x}\\\\\\\boxed{\bf{Answer:\mathsf{x=-6}}}}}}}\checkmark

\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}\\\\\frak{LoveYourselfFirst:)}

Patricia purchased x meters of fencing. She originally intended to use all of the fencing to enclose a square region, but later
sergejj [24]

Answer:

  (y^2)/4 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

For a perimeter length of x, the side of a square will be x/4 and its area will be (x/4)^2.

If one side of the square is shortened by y/2 and the adjacent side is lengthened by y/2, then the difference in side lengths will be y. The area of the resulting rectangle will be ...

  (x/4 -y/2)(x/4 +y/2) = (x/4)^2 -(y/2)^2

That is, the difference in area between the square and the rectangle is ...

  (x/4)^2 - ((x/4)^2 -(y/2)^2) = (y/2)^2 = y^2/4

The positive difference between the area of the square region and the area of the rectangular region is y^2/4 square meters.
